Gerry,

    I understand your reasoning with an important Emerald or delicate
    Opal. but there is a place for power tools. 

    I have been setting gems for over 30 years and twenty of those years
    I set everything with hand tools.  About 10 years ago I purchased a
    GraverMax and it changed my life.  I wouldn't consider doing a
    channel or flush mount with Diamonds again by hand.  I can move more
    metal with the GraverMax than I could by hand and therefore create a
    far more durable and lasting piece. 

    I do still set all delicate Gems by hand as well as bead setting.  I
    prefer the control of the hand when setting these items.
